Interesting article on Reveno's dismissal

Give Eric Reveno major props for his willingness to publicly talk about his dismissal at Portland. Most would not do so.

"Eric Reveno's unofficial exit interview at University of Portland" -- John Canzano/The Oregonian

It concludes with: "On what's different at Gonzaga and Saint Mary's:

"They do not do a thing without asking how it will impact men's basketball... we had to practice in the morning this year. They talk about alignment when you're evaluating situations. Alignment between the president and AD. Also, having everyone on the academic team working together to do something that's really hard... integrate athletics and academics on that level."

These are elements that we as fans possess zero knowledge of when we both rant and rave yet are critical to being successful.
